Clearing by Martha Postlewaite

Do not try to serve

The whole world

Or do anything grandiose

Instead create

A clearing

In the sense forest

Of your life

And wait there

Patiently,

Until the song

that is yours alone to sing

falls into your open cupped hands

and you recognize and greet it.

Only then will you know

How to give yourself

To the world

So worthy of rescue
